Live Rock & Custom Aquascaping for a 28 gallon Nano Aquarium.

Jasonanatal · 10-31-2007, 07:45 PM

Hello everyone, I'm looking to purchase some live rock with specific structures that I would like to match in order to construct my aquascaping vision. I would like to use Tonga or Marshall Island Live Rock. The structures I would like to duplicate are below:

9 Inches Width x 6 Inches Depth x 9 Inches Height

6 Inches Width x 5 Inches Depth x 7 Inches Height

As allow low shipping is desired but not a must as long as quality is not sacrificed. Thanks for any assistance you can give.

The only way to get the structures you want, guaranteed, is to hunt your LFSs until you find the pieces you want. To ask someone shipping LR to pick them for you is asking for disappointment because you allow them to judge for themselves what you want.

By the way, what is wrong with the pieces you pictured???

Those photographs are from the Marco Rocks website displaying their signature pieces. I have tried getting in contact with him but to no avail.

Marc, that would be great if you have some digital photographs of the rocks that would fit what I was looking for that would be great. I guess when we agree on the rock I can send immediate payment via PayPal. I have PM'd you my contact information. Please call me when you have a free moment.

Marc, you are definitely a difficult man to get in contact with. If the rock can be fabricated to the dimensions that I require I will have no problem in purchasing it. I was curious to know if the rock in your signature photographs is available? Please get in contact with me since I cannot add anything into my aquarium without the Live Rock for filtration. Thank you.

If you tried to call this weekend we were busy hosting a hurricane

We do have power back and despite rolling outages as they work, internet service is on more than off.

I anticipate a somewhat normal work day and I'll be able to work on your request this afternoon.

chop chop marc, dont let the finger of god that tore down your town & brought you back to oz civilization standards pull you down

**Marc** · 11-05-2007, 09:00 AM

LOL Thanks ...(I think

)

I hope that post didn't come off harsh, I've only slept a few hours in the last couple of days.
No major damage but I was up all Saturday night making sure drainage was clear and generator was happy. ~5" of rain in about 20 hrs. Working out in the rain wasn't that bad but damn have ya ever gotten hit by a 70mph acorn ?

Then Yesterday was chainsaw day.

veriann · 11-05-2007, 07:06 PM

acorn...lol , thats a nut thingy isn't it?

to anwser your question no.. but your lucky it wasn';t something else when the adult store in town was blown away

**Amphibious** · 11-05-2007, 07:51 PM

V, you are such a nut!!!
